Day of Remembrance of the victims of political repressions

On 29 October 2026, H.E. Ms Jeanne Crauser, Ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to the Russian Federation, together with the ambassadors and representatives of EU Member States and like-minded countries, paid tribute to the victims of political repressions by laying flowers at the Solovetsky Stone.

The Solovetsky stone was erected in 1990 to honor victims of political repressions in the Soviet Union. It was brought from the territory of the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp, which had become one of the symbols of the Gulag.
